Web Editing Access

Editing access is reserved for section editors - faculty or staff appointed by their appropriate Supervisor/Manager (MPP) as an individual who publishes content in one or more assigned web sections. Contractors are not eligible to be section editors. Only appropriate administrators can assign or make changes to a section editor.

Please note: Appropriate Supervisor/Manager approval is required to become a section editor. An appropriate Supervisor/Manager can designate or change a section editor by submitting a Website Support IT ticket. 

How to get editing access

An employee is granted editing access once IT confirms that the employee has completed the required training. To obtain editing access:

  1.  Web Editor Training - consists of six short 1 to 3-minute videos with relevant multiple-choice quiz questions.
      • Self-enroll and complete the CSUMB Web Editor Training course in Canvas.
      • You must complete the quiz questions correctly after viewing the videos to receive credit. 
  2.  Approval of appropriate Supervisor/Manager - Request your appropriate Supervisor/Manager submit an IT Web ticket to allow you editing access. Employees must get approval and have their Supervisor/Manager as a contact in the ticket.
  3.  Submitting a Website Support IT ticket should include the proposed employee section editor's following info: 
    • First and Last name (included as a contact in the ticket)
    • Otter ID 
    • Email 
    • URL of the Section of the website that the employee needs access to
      • include the Parent and child sections. Do not use acronyms. 
      • You can include other employee(s) with current exact access as a reference.

 4. Complete the required Writing for the Web training - Within 30 days of obtaining editing access, all section editors must complete the Writing for the Web Training course in Canvas. Failure to complete this training within 30 days will temporarily cancel editing access until the required training is complete.
